Question

The dance team held 2 fundraisers to earn money for uniforms. During the second fundraiser, the team raised $450. The team raised a total of $620 for uniforms during both fundraisers. How much money did the dance team raise at the first fundraiser?

Answer 1

The dance team raised 170$ during the first fundraiser

Explanation:

to find how much the first fundraiser earned let's make an equation and make the first fundraiser the variable x

The equation would be:

x+450=620

so we would take away 450 from both sides

x+450-450=620-450

which would make the equation

x=170

meaning that the first fundraiser raised 170$
